Scarab Sages

I have attempted to purchase the physical Pathfinder 2e book multiple times.

My first attempt saw me first update my address and my payment method. I got to the checkout, I was asked for my Security Code. I entered it, looked away, then looked back and realised I'd not clicked Complete. I clicked it, saw a short loading animation, and then nothing happened.

I went back to my account, deleted the payment method (thinking I'd entered something wrong), then tried again. The Order page said that my payment method had been declined. I got to the final page, entered my Security Code exactly as printed on my card, and the same thing happened.

Just now, I tried again, having found that, apparently, that was caused by the address not being exactly like on my account. I remade my payment method, duplicating the address exactly (though I did not have either City, State/District, or Postcode in my app, but I'm fairly certain they're there). I went into the order, got to Place Order, and clicked. The short animation appeared, and then nothing happened. I wasn't even prompted to enter my security code.

I sent an e-mail to Customer Service at this point. I'm just making this post as a follow up.

I went back to my payment method, entered my address again with a few changes, then tried again. Same result.

I use a different address for shipping than my billing address. Further, I've looked in my bank account, and there are six pending transactions listed, totalling €377.46. From what I've read, those transactions should be cancelled in a few days. But I thought the transactions put through to confirm the card would be for €1 or some small amount, or did I misunderstand?

As I posted here (yes, necromancy, and yes, I'm sorry), I've tried the big pdfs on the latest Kindle. It takes a while to render each page, due, I believe, to the fancy layout (and possibly the crosslinking, as Xabulba commented) being flattened every few seconds. The Pathfinder Society pdf works perfectly, though, as it has very little art and a flat design. I'll try the individual chapter pdfs, but I'll probably not use the Kindle at all.

EDIT: Whoops, necromancy. Sorry.

I got my Kindle 3 barely two hours ago. The books will load fine. The problems stem from the fact that it automatically shrinks to fit. You can zoom in and change the orientation and the contrast, but not much else. You can view it in original size, which is good.

The problem arises from the fact that it transforms colour into black and white. Which means it takes about a minute for it to load each page, even those without artwork, as each page is very stylistic.

I'll actually be removing those books from my Kindle, because it's really not worth the wait. I'm also terrified it'll do something horrible to my Kindle (again, only had it two hours, and I'm terrified of killing it or damaging it).

It's possible that Paizo will release an ebook version with no artwork, though, which would be awesome.

EDIT: The Pathfinder Society pdf works perfectly, except it stutters around page 32.
